About This Home
As of April 2025Hidden behind a majestic deodar cedar tree in picturesque Bungalow Heaven, a home of rare beauty and character awaits. 1210 N Chester Ave is an exquisite English Cottage Revival that blends warm and elegant living spaces with the idyllic allure of the Yorkshire countryside. Overlooking a meticulously landscaped front yard, the ivy-draped porch feels tailor-made for a glass of wine as twilight settles over the block. Once inside, you're welcomed by the inviting glow of natural light as it pours into the living and dining rooms. This is the perfect setting for quality time with friends and loved ones, beginning with delicious meals around the dining table and carried into the night by the living room's crackling fire. Arched doorways, handsome moldings, and extensive built-ins enhance the character-rich ambiance. Whether working your way through a Julia Child's cookbook or assembling a simple charcuterie platter, the well-appointed kitchen inspires with its custom oak cabinets, top-tier German appliances, and gorgeous Caesarstone quartz countertops. In the mornings, from the comfort of the cozy breakfast nook, you'll admire the hummingbirds as they dance around your backyard garden. Tucked away and placed at opposite ends of a long hallway for maximum privacy, you'll find the home's two bedrooms. A cheerful guest bedroom looks out to the lush front yard and, at the rear of the home, the owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with an en suite bath and walk-in closet. Best of all, it opens to the stunning backyard oasis, so picturesque you might just let your membership to the Huntington lapse! Here you can relax with a book by the tranquil koi pond, meditate beneath a canopy of trees tucked behind the garage, or dine al fresco on the large patio. This haven of natural beauty is where inspiration quietly takes root, writer's block melts away, and the worries of the day disappear. The backyard also includes a converted garage that easily serves as a media room, art studio, or exercise space. Enjoy your very own happily ever after at this storybook home where everyday offers its own special enchantment.
